Overview

About 26 Burford Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

26 Burford Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Swindon (SN3 1BP). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £441,000 sits 76.4% above the 2013 sale of £249,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 16.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in July 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26 Burford Avenue is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN3 1BP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 26 Burford Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 26 Burford Avenue was lodged in March 2014 at band D and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 26 Burford Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN3 1BP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
26 Burford Avenue is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
